Our Favorite Features: Squarespace Member Areas
Turning your simple site into a virtual hub for all types of community.
What it does: Squarespace Member Areas allow you to protect certain content on your website, limiting access to people who are registered with you or your business. Examples include paid subscriptions, classes or workshops, training materials, digital networking events, and documents and other information essential to members. Whether it’s free or paid, Member Areas simply allow you to sequester certain information from public view, making sure it stays with the right eyes only.
Why we love it: Squarespace Member Areas turn your site into an information hub, a virtual community space, an online education center and more. Those who don’t need to know don’t know what’s there, and those who do can access it all with the swift stroke of a password.
WOTW sites that use it: The Big Think allows members to access their education materials and resources.
What our developers say:
“The big benefit with Member Areas is the ability to have protected content on your Squarespace site. If you've got a course to offer or a membership to a specific service you want to provide to your customers, you can do it natively through Squarespace. There are some limitations — like how you can only have one price level per member area — but they can be easy to work around. If you want to provide a membership area to your website, and want three different levels of membership (like free, professional, and pro), Squarespace Members Areas allows you to do that; you'd create separate pages just for each type of member, and then turn on the pricing and go! It's pretty seamless and easy for customers to understand.” — Justin Mabee, developer
